Use Moo Cow Alistar skin so you can constantly emote on your opponent to bait their engage (works every time)

Step 1: Be Showmaker

[@sj3614]

the way showmaker plays Alistar reminds me a lot of Gragas phase rush.

[@ColbyJacked]

It works really well on Amumu too, especially for full AP or support

[@BloodySSK]

@@ColbyJacked you cant mute danse

[@gl3472]

God bless Phreak and his changes

[@hoanghieubui2952]

Gragas mains have another pick to annoy everyone now

[@ducklauncher]

I literally switched from gragas to alistar after these buffs LOL

[@Verdimillion]

Great editing on this one, good stuff!

[@mikewasasuke9695]

even before the item rework, someone hit masters with top alistar tank just because of sunfire and pure tank. S12 Sunfire was probably the most broken mythic overall after all the nerfs to the mythic items and people still didn't realize that. Now it's just a shadow of its former glory

[@akhen0950]

6:50 GOAT taric

[@BoodyDarknes]

I knew this was coming after those insane AP ratio buffs.

[@scorpiokc]

I saw Alicopter playing mid Alistar with Davemon, didn't expect it to be actually viable

[@marvelbladez993]

Last patch gave his q and w 10% increased ap

[@vitormonteiro1695]

its good to see Alistar gets some love, it is such a funny champion to play with

[@gonkong5638]

definitely want this pick sustainable in the future. Alistar is just too fun to be a support only role. Let make him like gragas.

[@iliesseelhaouari2731]

U mean point and click trade /burst dmg with insane damage reduction? If they buff his ap ratios even further that would make him too cancer

[@Gorecatto]

​@@iliesseelhaouari2731 yeah , alistair getting too much damage would be extremely unhealthy , as much as i like him , he is just too consistent to get that much damage Gragas per example only has one "point and click" and its a rather slow melee attack , and all of his skills are skill shots on the slower side (except for point blank body slam)

[@Larkian]

@@iliesseelhaouari2731 Alistar AP top and mid and even AP support was a top pick many years ago. Even during 1st championship iirc

[@HowieDoIt93]

@@Larkian Even bruiser top was insane. Triforce + statik shiv before they patched his w auto interaction. GG

Man's definitely having fun 0:07

[@ofon2000]

i've seen so many things that its hard to make me laugh, but seeing the Alistar terrorize jax cracked me up.

[@zinsharkide2549]

Shushei would be proud

[@ohmygeeve]

once i saw those q and e buffs I knew alistar mid would make a comeback

[@troiistaroficial]

Great video

[@timetorelaxph]

Deathfire grasp Alistar combo. Who else remembers?

[@lordpaulphilippfernandez9904]

Haven't encountered it sadly. I did experienced the Sheen Alistar top in its earlier days.

[@beshir7982]

Alicopter has been doing this for awhile as well

[@sebastianmrowicki2955]

Nightmare of URF is now ranked nightmare😱

[@HungPham-mh2gl]

Was that Zed99, I watched his video recently

[@68Layers]

its so weird that a champ that uses brute force and sheer muscle does only magic damage

[@CyAA-ri2us]

just think of it as how Juggernaut from Marvel also got his powers from old magics as well.

[@retraxlol]

The BM is mandatory

[@gersonjoc]

Trollistar is canon now

[@chabias9928]

Can't believe this season 1 meta is back in KR challenger

[@REALwoombath]

Maxing W first is better. Also props to Alicopter, the OG. He started playing AP cow minutes after patch release.

[@1998yong]

fiora counter everything lol

[@dismaldice3045]

Except Urgot

[@uvaglobo]

​@@dismaldice3045 and garen

[@Ryuu_Tatsuya70]

Btw q w e is slow but e w q is insta phase rush.

[@dominiorrr6510]

Is it post or pre buff?

[@northmanmartin5186]

was expecting this is heavely countered with sylas, you mention it at the end of video .... we are the same.

[@ermindedic3706]

My only wish is for riot to make jg Alistar a thing. If they could just give him some extra dmg on monsters it would be nice

[@oliverstaunton10]

Would heartsteel not work well?

[@_MobsPsycho]

The shy is the real one playing top Alistair

[@ThomasFlaum90]

I miss the days of AP Alistar with headbut and the auto after with sheen proc, was actually unplayable for the opponent, it had no counterplay xD

[@1exodin]

funny and op pick

[@karnivore3708]

I have noticed through extensive testing that A-sol can't do anything vs alistar. I even take electrocute in that match up and end up with no less than 4 kills in laning phase

[@davidguglielmo1177]

Aye, alistar has too many cc close range to just counter everything asol do, ahari too can counter in wave clear and short cooldown if asol E+Q then Ahri can respond to E+Q+W back winning trades and getting healed by the passive

[@ghreserg6629]

"The mages will always outpush you, but they'll come to regret it after a gank" hhm a gank ..... we dont have the same games

[@agseba124]

it's been a while since ali got used on lane but he can get easily countered. He is annoying to fight against, but you just need to treat him like cho gath, he has a terrible wave clear until he gets some items, so knowing how to manage waves can be a huge tool to lock him up in his tower where you can roam freely.

[@Dramox.]

Thanks riot

[@LaloBurnsRed]

If you want to counter this use cassio or poppy, their grounding mechanic deny his engages, poppy has the only type of cc (flying him tf out) that is effective against him and a good cassio player will feed on grass fed 🐄 all lane

[@alfech7287]

I quote Riot here : " For those of you who are fans of Wizard Cow, he doesn't appear to be very good as a mage and we're not intending for that to be the case any time soon"

[@srnght]

What are these idiots basing themselves on ? 🤣

[@Gragoosie]

They aren't wrong lol

[@jushhh9960]

how does he fare against tahm kench or volibear later in the game? is he able to sustain against their tankiness and sustainability?

[@Rncko]

Tahm I am not sure but Voli? You'll get locked into the wall by Alistar once lategame CDR is a thing. (knock to wall, airborne, stun --> literally sandbag for Alistar ally to shred you)

[@chiliboy99]

rmb old ali where his passive did xtra dmg to jg and his e was the heal? best ap ali

[@TheIncredibleHieb]

Yeah, this only seams to work if the Jungler plays for you. Which in my elo is a long stretch :D

[@nakejtypek1829]

4:35 Not to mention the faster clears *has to speed up the video because of how slow the clear is* (sure, the clear may be faster than lvl 3 but it's still painfully slow)

[@Qopa]

I had an alistar top in my game, instalock into a camile. He went 1/14

[@overtale4516]

Too bad it only works in KR not in NA

[@karlrose405]

Idk why he would pick it into Camille, she is one of the worst matchups for him I would imagine as you can neither build tank or ap against her, she wins 1v1 after divine, and it's difficult to peel your carries from a Camille when she has r... Haven't tried the matchup though, so I am not totally sure

[@Nyartatouille]

Her q literally does true damage

[@RavenClaw2291]

@@karlrose405 from the way he told, seems like he picked Camille to counterpick Alistar, not vice versa

[@Qopa]

@@RavenClaw2291 no, I meant a member from my team instalocking alistar into a camil top, knowing what he will be facing up against.

[@rakkisfox2967]

Referring to around 1:45 where the solo kill happened, can you Q then flash to be faster?

[@Turaosx]

Since it is high elo its veeeery hard to get in range to be able to Q-Flash combo someone knowing they will die to it and expect it, that is why W is used there to account for the extra-distance, even though on the clip we could argue it could maybe be enough. Also, W can be input-buffered and using flash-w-q is slower and risks zed e.g flashing out while W is cast, I think on the play buffered W-Flash-Q is used instead making the combo much faster and smoother, and less likely to mess up as its not that easy to close-range W-Q straight after flash.

[@haiskateboarding6202]

This champ needed something after being in the garbage for a year

[@stash4642]

What have they unleashed 😂

[@DallasUzumaki]

Finally I can use lunar beast Ali

[@daggo3245]

Dude isn't that Zed99 too? LOL

[@leha9con241]

What does anti carry mean

[@juiceman320]

That auto at 00:24 is “fair” pretty sure Alistar isn’t a ranged champ 🤣

[@GentlemanJasper]

That also got me confused. Never happens when I play him

[@uvaglobo]

why does alistar look so fun with rocketbelt

[@dazeen9591]

it's like better version of Rakan mid. Though playing support mid feels awful when your team is too braindead to path mid to gank when you have free kill setup.

[@batuhankuanyshev3678]

Alistar Ap os OP

[@danieltaylor3696]

"How is this working?" I dunno... might have to do with the point and click 100% ap ratio W with the unavoidable 90% ap Q. 🤔 No... no that's not the problem, riot balancing is totally fine Edit: 2:49 is amazing

[@trantuan8742]

acturally i use W of him to prevent opp taking exp if he far enouch

[@KisaragiGentaro]

Im laughing hard looking at that zed

[@kevinnotkyle]

Truly a safe pick and annoying to play against truly tilting the enemy is the fastest way to win

[@lancedelacruz8720]

the first clip was showmaker vs zed99 the rank 1 zed in korea LMAO

[@stepbrogaming4942]

imagine losing in challenger as zed vs alistar, thats a wrap for your lol career

[@Dsnk30]

zed was ZED99

[@stereotypicalreader3568]

The only way i can explain fighting a good alistar mid is "Are you playing the game? Play Harder"

[@ZorielTokai]

New alistar: Malphite Ap

[@user-er1wu7tv6s]

essa ideia eh do yiok

[@schifferuquiorra387]

Special: Have to has Moo Cow Alistar and spam taught + W

[@gandahk416]

Riot want to bring back old strategy. Now the only thing left is buff for his jungle damage.

[@marclenraymagdaraog691]

Basically the same concept playing Zac mid.

[@wankhairulwanali9485]

If WildRift you can't do that since there many more items and runes not released yet... 🤔🤔🤔

[@komeowru]

Nah, his AP ratios are low

[@unomasunosontres]

8:18 you mean F W not W F right?

[@drvinylscratch1936]

And he just got more buffs....

[@ayoubta9a585]

Ignite or TP ?

[@LoLDobby]

TP

[@Alicopter]

BEST PATCH IN THE PAST 5 YEARS

[@converser]

AP K'sante 💀

[@sobless4229]

I use electrocute and it hard wins lane :)

[@itsallinthepast2944]

pretty much riven?

[@LiTgg]

This is the counter to RIOT new chat ban system

[@UGOkilleth]

I like it but I think Electrocute and Luden's Echo would be a better comp late game, could potentially one shot squishies.

[@atouchofoliveoil1447]

S3-S4 triforce ali mid may he RIP

[@peterzerg2710]

Garen mid hard counter

[@chonyun1991]

wtfff is that auto range at 0:24 thats like kaisa auto range

[@mattphyx]

I think Ali’s E stun makes his next auto attack uncancellable, he started autoing before Heca got out of range

[@taco4633]

bluetooth autoattack

[@MsST3F4N]

"But how is this working in challenger?" 2/7/15... yeahhh it's kinda still a troll pick.

[@Anonymous-en8rs]

renekton please

Moo Cow is pay to win

DK let showmaker cook & pick alistar mid in lck match pls 😂

[@zezubat8900]

U cant q flash on ali fix your mistake

[@dazeen9591]

the real difference here is that Showmaker actually has teammates with brain. I don't. He is being carried.

[@user-gp8tr2zy4c]

Allistar got an AP Scale buff and I know something weird will occur in KR 💀

[@riftdelash3937]

alistar mid is more of a galio 2.0 pick

Zed was zed99, def lost lane but they did win that game🤣

First

[@perciol9371]

ye evertyhing is fune untill you will play agaist poke champion mid ;)

Challenger is really just bronze with a fancier name.

[@TahaJelani]

1:53, this was not a reaction just a coincidence

[@hoaang9455]

Is pissed me of that riot makings these radom buffs for certain champ like i mean is pro play is soo boring now, Zeri Yummi, Lucian nami , is doesn’t stop i want these kind of champ pick in pro play soo bad riot just nerf him 1 patch later suck too see LOL dont have the creativity anymore
